Title: Method for setting an RF channel in a video cassette recorder
Inventor: KIM YOUNG NAM
IPC: H03J1/00
Filed: 2004-03-30
Abstract: In a method for setting an RF channel in a VCR (video
cassette recorder) system connected to a TV, it is checked
whether a signal for setting a target RF channel in the VCR
system is generated, e.g., by pressing a button installed on
a remote control unit for the VCR system. Then, if the
signal for setting the target RF channel is generated, the
target RF channel is searched and a VCR message signal to be
displayed on a screen of the TV is loaded on a carrier wave
frequency corresponding to a current RF channel.
Subsequently, a user confirms that the current RF channel is
set as the target RF channel by pressing the button. In
this way, the user can easily set an RF channel in a VCR
system without setting a TV channel.

Abstract: Narrowband subscriber terminals (40, 52, 58) of different narrowband
networks are interconnected via a broadband network (48) that supports
dissimilar signalling protocols to those maintained on the respective
narrowband networks (40, 52, 58). A call server in a first narrowband network
(40), in response to a call (100) from a first subscriber terminal (12) to a
second subscriber terminal (68) in a second but different narrowband network
(52), selects a phantom trunk (202) between the two networks. The phantom
trunk has a unique circuit identity, which circuit identity is used in a first
instance to relay to the second network an address of the second subscriber
terminal (68). Then, in a second instance, the unique circuit identity is used to
relay to the second network an address of the first subscriber terminal (68).
By recognising that two connection requests have been received at opposite
ends of the same phantom trunk, a processor in the second network is able to
determine that a direct connection between the first and second subscriber
terminals is required through the broadband network (48).

Abstract: Contemporary computer architectures support pipelining and instruction-level
parallelism, in which an operation related to updating array T 1  is
followed by an operation related to updating array T 2 . To further improve
performance, it is desirable to update arrays T 1  and T 2 
together within the loop over i, using one instruction per pair of updates. 
     The computer architecture employs SIMD instructions (and in our particular example,
SSE2 instructions) to update simultaneously the arrays T 1  and T 2  used
in Montgomery multiplication, montmul (A,B). 
This process involves, in part, processing digits of A in a right-to-left manner
and interleaving results of the multiplications involving B (i.e., mul 1 *B[i])
and modulus N (i.e., mul 2 *N[i]) that are used to update arrays T 1  and T 2 .

Abstract: An image encoding/decoding method and apparatus are disclosed. The
encoding method comprises: obtaining a residue corresponding to a difference
between the original image and a prediction image with respect to each
component of the original image; encoding the residue of a predetermined
component of the original image; restoring the encoded residue of the
predetermined component and transforming the restored residue into a
predetermined value including the restored residue value; and encoding prediction
residues corresponding to differences between each of residues of components of
the original image, which are not encoded, and the residue, which is restored and
transformed into the predetermined value. Since prediction residues are encoded
and decoded using correlations between residues of image components and
image components, data amount is highly reduced. Also, since there is no quality
loss in a picture generated by directly encoding an R-G-B image without
transforming it into a Y-Cr-Cb image, high quality image information is obtained.
